Commissioners approve school board plan to apply for state lottery grants for two new schools
Summary
At its Sept. 15 meeting the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved the school board's plan to submit applications for state lottery grant funding to build two new schools; the county will await state approval.
The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved the school board's plan to apply for state lottery grant funding for two new schools during its Sept. 15 meeting. "We had the opportunity to approve the school board's plan to apply for lottery grant funding for 2 new schools," Kevin Berger, chair of the Rockingham County Board of Commissioners, said during the meeting.
Commissioners said the school board will submit the applications and the county will wait to see whether the state approves the grants. The meeting transcript does not include the vote tally, names of a motion mover/seconder, the proposed sites for the two schools, the estimated project cost, or the timeline for construction; those details were not specified.
Because state approval is required, any final decision and subsequent funding depends on the state's grant-award process, which the transcript says will determine whether the projects proceed.
